Hello, and welcome to the official X3 Multi Gun match announcement thread.
This thread will come up every month with new stage diagrams and new information about the months up coming match.

First a little bit about the match, we offer 3 basic categories, Open, Tac Scope, and Ca 10 Round. The rules for each of these can be found on our website along with directions and other pertinent information. www.x3multigun.com

Great match everyone! I'm starting to see a lot of new faces here and at Pala so the cat's outta the bag!
SoCal 3-gunners.. also remember that there is another local 3-gun match at West End Gun Club next Saturday near Lytle Creek. Life is good.

Now two dudes show up and shoot the CA class. Figures. I probably won't shoot it again anyway. It was just so I can say I shot a Hello Kitty rifle at X3 once.

Targets are up,, I was out there today and there are some new longer range swingers...
pistol spinner, cardboard flipper and the dreaded star with pistol. Shot gun they have some flippers to hit airborne clays and some knockdowns with "OO" buck with some mild(40yd) distance slug targets. Its all good to be shootin.

Excellent match today, y'all, and I hope everyone enjoyed those 2 new 375y and 400y flashers! Be sure to thank Sammy the next time you see him for trudging up there by himself and putting down that 375Y target.

Is the next match the third Sun in Oct? I've been trying to make it out for my first attempt at 3-gunning for the last few months but life seems to always get in the way. I want to get next month's match on the calendar ASAP so it doesn't happen again. Thanks.

Yes, usually but be sure to check back here for any match updates in case of bad weather delays.
New shooters are always welcome but I'd encourage you to start shooting the pistol comps, if you haven't started already.

Great match! Instead of the slug shots, I should have been much more worried about pistol clay birds stuck into no shoots, 400 yd rifle shots and stuffing 30 rnds in my shotgun on the clock (only dropped 1!). As a first timer, I would echo what has been said before that anyone interested in trying 3-gun should get some pistol competition experience first. I have been shooting IDPA and Steel Challenge for a few years and couldn't believe how much stuff you need to manage (gear wise and mentally during the shooting) for one of these matches. It felt like I spent more time worrying about getting to the line with the right equipment and load-out then the shooting strategy. Even with pistol experience there are different procedural/safety things that you need to learn for the long guns. I think I only managed to do one mildly stupid thing and a swift application of Sammy's boot learned me well.

All in all a great day at a nice range with challenging stages and good people. As a newby you will be guaranteed to leave your first match with two long lists - one of skills you need to practice and another of cool gear you want to buy!

Thanks to SuperSet, Sammy, Frito, Andrew, Dennis, Bronco and Justin for going easy on the new guy. I learned a lot and will definitely be back - hopefully with a rifle that runs.

The weather man is calling for a chance of showers (20%) BUT, I'm not worried about that. THE MATCH IS ON!!!!!

You will need a sling for this match along with Bird, Buck, Slug, Pistol, and Rifle ammo.

I have 60 new knock over targets that I will be putting into the match this month. You won't see a lot of paper and birds in the match with the chance of wet weather. It should make for an interesting match.

I will post the stages as soon as I have them ready, hopefully tomorrow night.

O.K.

It's Thursday night and as promised I have the stages finished! I'm pretty excited about them, a lot of steel knock over targets. I hope you guys like them it will make it easier in the winter to set up.

The weather man has all but taken out the possibility of rain so let everyone know that we are definitely a go!

Ended up raining pretty steadily. Most of us got through three stages. When I went to get my pistol out of the drop box at the end of the last stage and it was half submerged, I didn't feel too bad about calling it.

Our squad was stubborn and ended up finishing 5/6 stages. Almost made it to the end but sloshed around too much on the rifle side. And you're right, it rained steadily almost the entire time we were there. I'm thankful that I didn't short out any camera equipment! You can see/hear the rain coming down starting about 1:45 in:

At least I know my equipment (sans fogged up magnifier) runs in the rain!

You are "Da Man"
Sorry it didn't work out, I really thought we were going to get it done.

It got even worse after you left, we had to try to pick up some of the targets, didn't get to far though. I couldn't even drive a straight line it was so slippery. Almost got stuck several times and the crossing let go. We had to leave the back way. That was an adventure in it's self.

Oh well, if the weather is nice in December and I could get people to come out the weekend before Christmas I might put a match on.
